Asset servicing and fund administration for alternatives, backed by MUFG
MUFG Investor Services administers over $1 trillion in client assets across hedge funds, private equity, real estate, and alternatives. The tech stack reflects a hybrid infrastructure strategy—Microsoft + Bloomberg for front-office work, AWS + Azure for cloud compute and security—with active adoption of cloud-native security tools (Defender for Cloud, GuardDuty, WAF) signaling a shift toward zero-trust controls. The hiring mix skews operations-heavy (115 ops, 92 finance roles) against limited engineering (19), pointing to a business built on manual processes and outsourced transformation—supported by projects targeting client onboarding, NAV reconciliation, and regulatory reporting automation.
Notable leadership hires: Associate Director, Business Data Director, Client Operations Director, Data Integration Lead, Controls Director
